Everyone believes in witches, but nobody knows who really are and aren't the witches. They're paranoid about them; they're constantly searching for a way to get rid of them. However, they keep getting the wrong people, only accusing normal humans of the craft. What they don't know is that the real witches have been under their noses the entire time, using their magic to hide in plain sight. If you read this, put "Salem" in extra. A short ways from most of civilization, in the middle of the woods, a gang of witches live. The real ones, not the falsely accused "witches", and people only know of their magic if the witches want them to. These witches live out some amount of their daily lives among humans and, if any of the accused "witches" need help from the real ones, they only need ask. The only price is their secret.

TYPES OF WITCHES

(blue-grey ones are either taken or saved)

1. The Kitchen Witch: Works their magic through "kitchen work" such as cooking and brewing. An avid healer, they are skilled with herbs and potions. Also being a witch of the house, they are able to imbue magic into things through housework and mundane tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and similar activities.

2. The Green Witch: Uses plants and herbs to do magic. With vast knowledge and skill with flowers, herbs, and all kinds of greenery, they are strongly connected to the earth and nature. They are also a strong healer, more so than the kitchen witch when it comes to herbs. They often refer to herbs and other plants when it comes to medicinal and magical uses, and it works wonders due to their skill in plant-based magic. [Saved for Cassy]

3. The Fire Witch: Focuses towards the element of fire in their magic. They are connected to fire and will often use it for their magic, from candles to bonfires to burning objects, as well as things such as ash and symbols associated with the element. As well as working with fire, they are also mastered in the art of grey witchcraft and keeping the balance between good and evil magic, with fire being easily purifying along with easily destructive.

4. The Earth Witch: Connected with the element of earth. They have a strong appreciation of the earth and work through the element of earth for their magic, using things such as symbols associated with the earth and items collected from the natural world such as rocks and soil. They also have a slight connection with earth-associated spirit creatures such as fauns and satyrs, goblins, gnomes, etc.

5. The Air Witch: Magic specifically focuses on the element of air. They work using wind-related objects and tools (such as the wand), along with symbols and such associated with the wind and sky. They have a connection with the air, wind, and sky. They can also worth using things such as smoke, feathers, and hand fans. Musical instruments such as flutes and horns could also be used for the air witch's magic. [Saved for Storm]

6. The Sea Witch: Specializes in water-based magic and is able to affect many aspects of nature related to water. They will use water of any sort to practice their magic, ranging from the open ocean to a tub of water in front of them. They can also utilize tools and items from or related to the sea, such as sand, shells, and driftwood. A grey witch, they are associated with a strong and powerful force of nature and are skilled in keeping the balance between good and bad magic more so than most if not all than the other witches.

7. The Hedge Witch: An astral witch, they work with spiritual- and dream-based magic. They focus around spirits and specialize in methods of magic involving spirits and astral magic such as dreams, healing, and out-of-body experiences. Similar to the divination witch, they are skilled in interpreting dreams and decoding messages and symbols in them, but focus more on the big picture. [Saved for Silver]

8. The Storm Witch: Able to channel their magic through the weather. They are able to work their magic through storms and the combined energy of the storm's energy and their own. With a connection to the storms and weather, they do and can do things such as predict the weather, collect rain and/or snow, and provide protection to an area from upcoming storms and natural disasters as well as cursing them with the opposite. They are also skilled with wand work, especially with branches collected after storms. [Saved for Storm]

9. The Faerie Witch: Communicates and works with the fey to do their magic. Their work stresses and places importance towards the fey, and all varieties of them at that, though the faerie witch definitely has their individual favorites. They have a close relationship and connection with the fey, and a similar relationship with nature in general in the same vein. [Taken by Me]

10. The Art Witch: Works magic through artwork and other skills related to arts and crafts. They work in a way similar to the kitchen witch, except through drawing, building, and generally creating rather than through potions, cleaning, and other housework. They may imbue magic into their creations or enchant supplies to make the job easier.

11. The Music Witch: Works their magic through instruments, rhythm, singing, and other music-related things. They will often do things such as singing chants and spells, or imbuing magic into songs and instruments. They are skilled in rhythm- and song-based magic, as well as energy work.

12. The Literary Witch: Practices magic through the use of books and writing. They are fond of book-based magic and are skilled with things such as spellbooks, using them heavily even beyond the beginner stage of their training and magic. They also heavily use sigils and ancient languages, being fluent in several languages and having rather strong and effective sigils due to practice.

13. The Lunar Witch: Works their magic with the moon, planets, and stars. They more or less honor and respect these bodies and have a vast knowledge of them and their different meanings and energies. Their powers are stronger in the night due to easier access and may favor casting in the night, ad their magic can be worked through stuff such as astrology and horoscopes as well as the planets themselves.

14. The Crystal Witch: Works with crystals and stones to do magic. They have an extensive knowledge of different stones and their meanings due to their practices. They do any magic involving crystals, including crystal meditation or chakra magic, along with practices like scrying and crystal-based healing. [Saved for Cassy]

15. The Death Witch: Works with spirits, bones/blood, and necromancy. They can use spirits to empower themselves and can communicate with and summon them, and will work their magic through things such as blood, bone, and findings from graveyards. Talking to the dead is a common practice, along with sacrifices and such to spirits, and they have a connection to the dead. [Taken by Me]

16. The Divination Witch: Skilled and focused towards the art of divination in their magic. They may work with all forms of divination, from astrology to scrying and tarot. They are skilled with divination and things related to it, though they have their favorite methods that work better for them than others as an individual, and have a knack for being able to predict the near and/or distant future.

NOTES

1. This is not meant to be based on witch trials, witchcraft, or colonial times, and mistakes are inevitable. I did research and creative liberties were taken. Please don't feel the need to correct me on big things in lore or history. However, if you have small suggestions based on such, feel free to chime in.

2. This takes place during early colonial times (around 1600s) so please try to stay true to the time period to the best of your ability, aside from things like dialect and word choice.

3. Witches can be of either gender of course.

4. The magic isn't necessarily elemental/kinetic magic, more of a means of doing general magic. For example, the fire witch doesn't control fire, rather they use fire and fire-related things to cast magic. They do have some sort of weird connection with it, though, and through that connection can have some small related powers (again, not elemental, but things like the fire witch not being burned as easily/having a bit of tolerance to fire or the storm witch being able to predict the weather) that are up to you to pick. Of course, whoever have the storm witch and fire witch don't have to do those things, they were mere examples.

5. The witches live in a little cottage-type place a short ways into the forest from the nearest city, and no one knows they're there besides the accused witches, who are given some sort of sign to go there. However, they do go into the town every once in a while for both work helping the accused (they get paid to do it and it works as a sort of job) and for normal errands and such tasks.

RULES

1. In terms of what's allowed in POVs, anything goes. That means shipping (though they all will likely clash horribly), inter-character conflicts (like I said, they all have drastically different personalities and interpretations on the whole superhero thing, so lots of conflict), censored swearing, etc. It adds some extra spice to the RP which is always good. Just be sure to not let it take over the RP and you're good to go.2. Please remove parentheses from forms, just to keep things neat.3. Please try to be as active as you can and make it clear if you have to go an extended time (I'd say over a week) without posting.4. Please try to be descriptive and make a unique character, especially with the appearance and personality. I will not accept descriptions like "black hair green eyes tall" or "kind, friendly, can be dramatic" and I will definitely not accept "POV" unless I say otherwise.5. This ties in with the above point. No perfect or overly good characters, no cinnamon rolls, no angels. At the same time, no edge masters, no woe is me pity parties. No one-sided caricatures, and keep tragic backstories to a minimum.6. When writing other characters, portray them as accurately as possible. This is why I ask that you be descriptive, so the characters act as intended.

7. You are allowed to have up to two witch characters, and then human and accused witch spots are unlimited as they'll be more side characters. Depending on how well this goes, I might allow people to have up to three witch spots.

She has a connection to faeries and (though less so) elves, and they often help her out in small ways without expecting offerings or anything in return, but only small tasksPersona> Personality: At first, Amity seems innocent, naive, and sweet. However, she begins to show a rather mischievous and clever side to her the more you get to know her. She's an optimist, in her own demented way, and can come across as naive at times. With this, though, she tends to be very nonchalant about creepy thoughts and other such demented behaviors. She is very observant and quite the eavesdropper, finding out lots of information about other people by reading the person or finding out secrets through some means or another. As such, she will often use these secrets for her personal gain as an incentive to do different things. She can be very manipulative and cunning in this sense, and is the type of kid who can come across as sweet and innocent, but then turn an evil leaf if you wrong her enough.> Likes: Music, shiny things, adventures, scary stories, cats> Dislikes: Heat, big words, rain, sappiness, puns> Strengths: Observant, charming and sweet, knows how to get what she wants, cunning> Weaknesses: Mischievous, a little devil, manipulative, very demented and strange mindsetAppearance> Hair: Waist-length, sandy blonde, straight, usually worn in a pair of braids or a bun> Eyes: Light hazel> Skin: Fair, freckled> Body: Small and nimble> Face: Round face, hooded eyes, button nose> Clothes: Usually wears earth-tones, mostly green and white with some browns here and there; tends to wear simple dresses with a few accessory-type things, and will usually tie up her dress for mobility when she's not in town; tends to wear a brown sash around her waist with a thin rope that has a silver decorative buckle-thing, as well as a headband to hold back her hair, as well as a white knee-length cloak with brown trim and a brown cord tie; never wears shoes; always wears a thin white ribbon tied in a bow around her wrist, from her motherLife/Lifestyle> Gear: Always has random items and such (buttons, dried flowers and leaves, feathers, ribbons, things like that) scattered around her room and on her person, to use as faerie offerings> Bio: Amity lived a quiet first few years of her life, the only child to a couple by the names of William and Helena Rouse. Her parents always enjoyed the outdoors and, despite the bad medicine and such, would often go exploring through the woods near their small town. One time, when Amity was eight, they decided to take her along on a camping trip for the first time rather than leaving her with her aunt. The parents, on this trip, grew sick and died in the middle of the woods. She was ill as well for a brief time, but due to getting the faeries to help her out - she had been practicing witchcraft for a while and was always trying to get into the faerie variety, but never really had much direct contact with the fey - she managed to survive through the illness, as well as through the rest of her life later on. For the rest of her life, she lived in the woods, getting by with the help of the fey. She would occasionally sneak into civilization and steal the bare minimum of supplies that she needed, but that was only a rare thing if she absolutely needed. About a year or two ago was when she stumbled upon an old cottage in the middle of the woods, one stormy night, and decided to take shelter there in the storm. It was only a matter of time until she was discovered by the owner of the house, a witch who turned out to be the "leader" of sorts of a witch gang. She later joined the group after some hesitation, and is one of the newest members (if not the newest) having been there about a year.Extra: Salem

She has little to no filter and will near always say what's on her mind, being pretty insensitive.

One day, when Prim was fourteen, her parents went into town and then never returned. She and her brother later figured out that they had been killed, falsely accused to be witches, though Primrose was the only witch in the family. From this, she insisted that her brother change his name to keep from being recognized, leave, and get as far away as possible. She would stay back because she could hide her magic.

Unlike normal people of the time his mother never married instead she had three children with three different men. She herself was a witch as her eldest and youngest child also turned out to be. Her middle child was normal like all of the men she had been with. At the age of ten the townspeople began to claim that his mother was a witch as she had been making men fall in love with her one after another leading them the bear children without ever marrying. Of course their mother was a crystal witch who always wore a rose quartz (For love) so they hadn’t been incorrect with their claims. Their mother was killed and the children lived a quiet life on the edge of town trying not to draw attention to themselves while William had to be the sole support of his family taking any job he could get. When Will was 15 his now fourteen year old brother Samuel left refusing to be associated with the magic that lead to their mother’s death. At this point in time most of the townspeople were suspicious of the the witch’s children.

Phoebe enjoys going to play with the other witches and so she will keep them out of the way, Lazarus is good with advice and ranting, She tends to avoid social interaction besides stuff to do with work, and really prefers the dead over the living for no specific reason, just that she seems to connect with them more.

This person was then revealed to be a witch, and they convinced Primrose to let them stay there for good, and she complied. The two lived there for a bit, and then news came out of a few more cases of people falsely accused. This then gave the pair the idea to help out the falsely accused witches, making them more clearly innocent and such. Since then, they have added more witches into the group and helped out quite a few people.Extra: Salem. Occasionally assumed to be a vampire, though never a witch. Night owl, due to just preferring the night. Phoebe, Lazarus, and Reason all died nearby, so it's easier to summon them. It should also be worth noting that the ideas for both Lazarus and Reason came from me watching Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf too many times.

They still look live carvings when they're alive, though. And he can only bring the animal ones to life.Persona> Personality: Ashton is talkative and cannot stand the quiet. He gets bored easily and can have risky behavior. Despite being talkative, he doesn't enjoy jokes. He prefers to stay on the light side of things, but he acknowledges reality and he'll talk about it if he needs to. He likes to help, but he often just gets in the way. He's slightly clumsy and will most likely trip over anything left on the floor, thus, he cannot stand a messy space. He's smart and will keep up an argument for hours, due to the fact that he's hotheaded. He's kinda slow to trust strangers and will only ask for help if he is completely desperate. Once he becomes someone's friend, he's clingy and won't let them do anything dangerous until they literally have to shove him away.> Likes: Children, warm colors, autumn, candles, anything artsy> Dislikes: the "woe is me" kind of person, brawls, his parents, the person who's always serious.> Strengths: Ashton is smart and good with a bow and arrow.

His parents, who were actually the witches (well, a witch and a wizard,) and being cowards, turned in Alice, claiming she was the witch. Alice wasn't blood related to them, she had turned up on their doorstep and they had reluctantly taken her in. They didn't are about her much, though, and let the villagers kill her. Ashton never forgave them, but for the sake of his siblings stayed, afraid that if he left his parents would turn them in as well. Years passed, and the villagers once again became suspicious of them. Ashton had found out he was a wizard by now and, fearing for the safety of his family, left them in hope that the villagers would leave them alone. He wandered the woods for awhile, then stumbled upon a cottage where he met Primrose. Being desperate for food and shelter, he convinced her to let him stay. He waited awhile before revealing he was a wizard. He goes into the village occasionally to sell his work for money and buy food for him and Primrose. He also earns money by amusing the villagers (typically by juggling.)Extra: Salem

Acting the goat

I'd rather stand with God, and be judged by the world, than stand with the world, and be judged by God.

> Weapons/Fighting: She has a bow and arrow that the nearby Indians (Native Americans) taught her to use. She has a dagger that she's bad at using.> Skills: She is extremely good at singing, so much so that if she sings the right song, wild animals will bound over to her. She is also a pretty good swimmer and can run a decent distance (about half a mile) without getting completely exhausted.> Power/Spot: Music witch. If she has lots of concentration, she can hypnotize a person for a while (usually for less than half an hour) by singing.Persona

> Personality: Luisa is very bold and loves to lead. She rarely hesitates to jump at a chance to be a leader and she brings some new, fresh ideas to the group, putting her own spin on old tactics. She's also very bubbly and sweet.> Likes: Books, music, animals, mythology, and the Native American traditions and people> Dislikes: Some of the other witches (*cough* Primrose *cough*), witch trials, rainy days, silence> Strengths: She's very methodical and focused. She's pretty good at resolving conflicts and problem solving.> Weaknesses: She's a pushover when it comes to the other witches. She is nearly desperate to be in charge and is pretty gullible.

Appearance

> Hair: She has long, straight hair with no bangs that she dyed white with black streaks. It was dyed to resemble a musical score.

> Eyes: Her eyes are a warm sea green.

> Skin: It's a light tan that's so perfect that from a distance it looks like it was painted. She has a music-note shaped birthmark on the back of her neck.

> Face: Her chin almost comes to a point, but it's slightly rounded. Her ears are larger than normal. Her face looks very kind.

> Clothes: She prefers bright colors. She rarely wears shoes. She has a gold necklace with a diamond centerpiece that's been passed down on her mother's side of the family since around the Pax Romana.

Life/Lifestyle

> Gear: She carries an Indian-style instrument and a book of her favorite spell-oriented songs in a satchel.

> Bio: She lived a pretty normal life in a village. One day, her mother was forced out of the house and was killed on charges of being a witch. Luisa's father took her and her siblings to a known Indian settlement and disappeared. The Indians raised Luisa and her siblings, taking a special interest in Luisa herself because of her powers/magic. When she turned thirteen, she left the tribe and found the cottage with the other witches and joined them.

@ constellation: i mean, theyre normal humans more or less. im keeping to reality in the sense that the witchcraft stuff is more of a religious thing than a sort of superpower. basically, everyone has the potential to do this stuff, except the witches are just people who end up honing the abilities. along with that, the types of witches are by choice based on what comes easiest to them. though, there are situations in which people have natural streaks, but maybe you could tone it down a bit like maybe blonde with light/medium brown streaks or something like that, and they dont necessarily resemble a music score but if you look at it with a music score in mind youll see a sort of resemblance.

@ edge: they wont necessarily die, as the plot is basically about the witches helping out people who are falsely accused. whether or not your human character dies is completely up to you.

> Nicknames and such: Colleagues and friends usually call him "Foster". Folk in town might on occasion refer to him as, "Doctor" but otherwise none. He is a trusted figure in the town for now and few suspect him.

> Weapons/Fighting: Like most common folk in this era, he has no fighting skills. He's also a pacifist and prefers talking to dueling, as he considers fighting without a second or a duel to settle dishonor to be low and petty. However, if he must defend himself he uses his walking stick (popular among gentlemen at the time)

> Skills: He's good at persuading others, social etiquette, and making tea. He's also a trained surgeon and works as a surgeon in the town nearby. Medical practices then are much more crude than they are now so it doesn't have the wide breth of success that magical healing might.

> Power/Spot: Literary Witch, he uses the sigils in his book to decode and unravel hidden mysteries in texts and the sigils are good for wards and long lasting spells, such as blocking spells or making barriers. He can also move paper and books around, often to tidy things up, or cause quills to write messages at once or make the paper fold itself into an envelope. He is fluent in ten different languages.

Persona

> Personality: He's a very upright, gentlemanly, even stuffy sort of person. He tends to keep himself quiet unless spoken to first, but he's really quite the conversationalist and employs quite a bit of tact into his conversations. He believes in the honorable thing to do, as well as common sense as he's rather practical though he might get caught up in in a fantasy every now and then. He enjoys using long words as he has a very large vocabulary. Mark can be the fussy type though when things aren't to his "standards" and he can be judgemental of others. He usually means well for others though and when they need help, be it a medical one or not, he genuinely tries his best to accommodate them.

> Hair: He has curly, short dark brown/black hair no particular part to it, messy despite his attempts to keep it neat.

> Eyes: Steely grey color, slightly smaller than average eyes> Skin: He has a slightly paler than normal complexion, a few small scars along his jawline where he's gotten himself bad with a razor but nothing too serious.

> Body: He has a short stature and is also rather thin.

> Face: oval

> Clothes: He dresses very formally and of the higher class. He stubbornly refuses to strip down in clothing even when it's burning hot outside and wears a frock coat, breaches, tall socks, a fancy lacy collar and nice black shoes in any weather.

Life/Lifestyle

> Gear: He carries vials of medicine in his pockets, has a bag full of books and different surgeon (provided there's enough space for them) tools along with ink vials, quills, his journal, and tea bags inside.

> Bio: Foster grew up wealthy, since his father was a powerful merchant. Due to his large inheritance of this money, he set aside a large portion of it to get an education and become a doctor. He grew up a fairly normal life, his status and family's power being a shield from the lower class's suspicions. It was only later in life while he attended college he began to realize he could do unusual, supernatural things. Being a man of science, he recorded all his new findings in his medical journal, though has not published any of it due to the absurdity and taboo against witches and other supernatural beings. He had to hide his abilities from most, if not all of his colleagues and due to this, became rather distant from the rest of the town as he withdrew himself from more social occasions to focus on honing his powers. He has found that writing and reading, as well as writing certain symbols he hadn't even seen before, seemed to trigger the magic. As a prominent figure in town, he knew better than to simply disappear as the folk would soon note his disappearance. He instead goes back and forth between a queer cottage in the woods (where other witches gather) and the town he's lived in his entire life.Extra: Salem, I hope you don't mind him being this old.

Info> Name: Providence Phyllis Acton> Nicknames and such: Prov, Provi> Age: 19> Gender: Female> Family: Robert Acton (father, alive) Mary Acton (mother, deceased) Margaret Acton (younger sister, alive, 17 years old) Genevieve Acton (twin sister, alive, 19 years old)Abilities> Weapons/Fighting: Providence dislikes violence, but if necessary, she'll grab some household item such as a broom or a mop to defend herself. Her personal favorite is a rolling pin.> Skills: Prov is, of course, highly skilled in all sorts of housewife activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and sewing. She's also a good gardener, and is good at mixing potions. She's a good listener as well, and can give out good advice. She's one of those wiser-than-she-looks types. > Power/Spot: Kitchen Witch; Providence has a green thumb (not as much so as the Green Witch, however), is great at mixing potions, good healer (though she doesn't use herbs as much, leaves that to the Green Witch), and is unusually good at mundane chores. She can animate things like brooms and kitchen utensils to do the smallest of tasks for her. She's very talented when it comes to sewing or knitting, and all of her food tastes delicious.Persona> Personality: Providence is a kind, gentle soul. She prefers to be in the background. She's calm and cares about all of the other witches in the group, considering them her sisters. She's very neat and tidy, and has OCD. She doesn't get mad easily, but when she does, it's most likely because someone messed up her clean house. She feels like she always has to be doing something with her hands. Providence keeps the cottage spotless, and spends all day repetitively cleaning it. She tends to work herself to exhaustion as she can't stand having so much as a single speck of dust in her living space. She's also good at giving out advice, and acts much older than she actually is. Providence is a pacifist and hates fighting. She's also humble and modest.> Likes: Romance novels, hot tea, classical music> Dislikes: Loud and/or repetitive noises, messes, going outside, fighting> Strengths: has a calming presence and is good at mediating arguments, good at quick mental math, and has nimble fingers that can perform fragile tasks.> Weaknesses: very OCD. It's a big problem for her, and if something isn't exactly perfect, she gets very frustrated. She's not physically strong at all. Providence is also a bit of a pushover and doesn't put up much of a fight.Appearance> Hair: Reddish brown and loosely curly. When down, it reaches her shoulder blades, but it's almost always in a low bun.> Eyes: Coffee brown> Skin: A little on the naturally tan side, but still quite fair, pretty clear> Body: Average build, not super skinny but not overweight at all, average height, curvy> Face: Oval, well filled out, average proportions, thin and slightly upturned nose> Clothes: Unlike her twin sister, Providence dresses modestly, often in earth tones. Her clothes are simple 1600s-housewife clothes, and she typically tucks any stray hairs under a bonnet.Life/Lifestyle> Gear: She has a wedding band (her mother’s) tied up around her neck like a necklace with a braided thread (sentimental), and keeps a few basic medicines in her apron, as well as some pocket cookbooks (magical)> Bio: The Actons lived in a small townhouse. Robert worked as a judge, and his wife would take care of the children at home. Robert was a very abusive man, especially to his wife. He was mad at her for not having any sons. He would've abused Providence as well, but Genevieve protected her and took the blows for her. He left Margaret alone. When the twins were 14 and Margaret was 12, Providence started dabbling in kitchen witchcraft in order to help her exhausted mother. However, one day, when Robert came home, Providence forgot to stop animating some of the cleaning supplies, and of course her father noticed. He blamed Mary for it, and accused her of being a witch. She was burned at the stake. The twins ran away from home, afraid of their father, and tried to take Margaret with them, but she refused. After wandering the woods for some time, the twins discovered the cottage and were taken in. They've been there for five years. To this day, Prov is still ridden with guilt over her mother.Extra: Salem; identical twins with Genevieve (Providence is older by a few minutes); would it be alright if Margaret was one of the accused humans? I could make a form for her if you'd like.

Info> Name: Genevieve Meredith Acton> Nicknames and such: Genny, Gen> Age: 19> Gender: Female> Family: Robert Acton (father, alive) Mary Acton (mother, deceased) Margaret Acton (younger sister, alive, 17 years old) Providence Acton (twin sister, alive, 19 years old)Abilities> Weapons/Fighting: Uses the flintlock musket she stole from her father> Skills: Talented with her musket, and is good at hand-to-hand combat. Gen is charismatic and can easily get people riled up. She's very physically capable as well.> Power/Spot: Fire Witch; Gen is tolerant to high temperatures and is difficult to burn. She casts flame- and heat-related spells by burning things, most often candles but other objects work as well. She can use ash to cast grey magic.Persona> Personality: As tends to be the case with twins (especially identical), Gen is practically the polar opposite of Prov. One of the only things they have in common is the inability to sit still, however, where Providence’s restlessness is productive, Genevieve’s leans towards the destructive side. Gen is loud and boisterous, as well as reckless and impulsive. She's much flashier than her twin sister, and while she doesn't like to brag, she still thinks highly of herself (not too highly - just slightly above the average amount of self-esteem). Genevieve likes to take action and hates waiting around. She gets extremely annoyed when people mix her up with Prov. She dislikes cleaning, and thus her living space is often a wreck, which annoys Providence to no end. Gen is also similar to Providence as they are both very protective of their loved ones, and especially each other. While Gen argues almost constantly with Prov, she can't stand being separated for long.> Likes: Anything with caffeine in it, bright colors, her sisters, most people in the witch gang, flirting> Dislikes: Sitting still, waiting, being told what to do, people threatening her family, and is actually kind of scared of fire, despite being a Fire Witch.> Strengths: As mentioned before, Gen is very charismatic. She's a natural-born leader. She's also quite strong physically.> Weaknesses: She's stubborn in a bad way, very reckless and destructive, and super rebellious (in a bad way, again)Appearance> Hair: Reddish brown and loosely curly. It's a little longer than Providence’s, about midback when down, and she wears it either in a ponytail or undone.> Eyes: Coffee brown> Skin: A little on the naturally tan side, but still quite fair, and Genevieve has a considerable amount of scars on her arms and legs.> Body: Average build, not super skinny but not overweight at all, average height, curvy> Face: Oval, well filled out, average proportions, thin and slightly upturned nose> Clothes: Gen likes flashy clothing. She wears a lot of bright colors, especially red and orange, and she likes clothes that showcase her figure. She will even wear pants (gasp) if something requires more movement.Life/Lifestyle> Gear: She has a wedding band almost identical to Providence’s (the band is her father’s). She also carries around several matchboxes, flint and steel, candles, and a pouch of ash> Bio: Same as Prov’s. Whenever her father was in one of his moods, Genevieve would protect her twin, causing her to have quite a few scars. When the twins ran away, Gen grabbed one of her father’s muskets to take with her. She hadn’t learned magic yet, but she still followed her sister. After what happened to her mother, Gen had a crippling fear of fire. Once they reached the witch group, Gen decided to learn fire witchcraft in order to get over her phobia. She's been with the witch group for five years.Extra: Salem; Identical twins with Providence (Genevieve is younger)
